Just to add.. like I thought.. Crutchfield IS expensive.. I just google'd the model number.. and these exact model tube's are going for $250 each on Amazon. $500 total for 500 watts of bass that goes down to 30hz doesn't sound all that bad.
Bass Tube? Thoughts?
Hey guys..
So.. I've been out of the car stereo scene for a few years now.. and I am starting to plan for my system this spring.
I am going to be replacing all the speakers.. and of course the head unit.. probably with a touch screen.
Even though my Titan is my daily driver.. I didn't really want to spend THAT much for the low end. I like to turn up my system every once in a while like anyone else.. and sometimes.. just sometimes.. I want other people to hear the thump coming from my truck. I just don't want to spend that much money on 2 subs.. a speaker box.. and an amp (or possibly 2) to power the subs. I'd much rather invest that money in better speakers, or the head unit. I remember back years ago.. Bass Tubes were pretty popular, specifically the SAS Bazooka brand. Does anyone have any experience with them? Or better yet, have them in their truck? I was looking on Crutchfield's website, and they have a 10" tube, powered by a 250 watt class D amp. Some of the reviews say it can't be heard outside the car, but sound excellent inside the car. These reviewers only have one tube though, and I'd get 2. These tubes run for $330 each (Crutchfield has always been pricey, so probably cheaper elsewhere). For around $600.. I'd have 500 watts of bass.. and not have to worry about amps, space issues, or enclosures.
Guess my question is.. what's everyone's opinion on these tubes? It seems that in the long run, it would be a lot cheaper than the traditional sub route.
All opinions appreciated
